Ball B, with a mass of 30kg, is moving to the left at 10 m/s. With what velocity should ball A, with a mass of 10kg, move to the right and collide with 2, so that Ball A rebounds with a velocity of 30 m/s, and Ball B with velocity of 10 m/s? Assume the collison to be perfectly elastic.

    Using the conservation of momentumwhere momentum = mass x velocity

    so the let x be the initial velocity of the ball B

    (30 kg) (-10 m/s) + (10 kg) (x) = (30 kg) (30 m/s) + (10 kg) (-10 m/s)

    -300 + 10 x = 900 - 10010x = 900 - 100 + 30010x = 1100x = 1100 / 10x = 110 m/s
